Driver jailed after high-speed chase in stolen campervan with pop-up bed extended

Daniel Bald was jailed for 20 months after leading police on a 20-minute pursuit in a stolen campervan with its pop-up roof bed fully extended. The incident began on 28 July when an officer stopped to assist what appeared to be a broken-down vehicle on the A614 near Clumber Park, shortly after 11pm. Bald drove off at speed, joined the A1, and made repeated evasive manoeuvres, causing an HGV driver to take action. A stinger device ended the chase. Bald pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, failing to stop, driving while disqualified and without insurance. He was sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court on 17 September.

Devon Cliffs plan for 11-and-a-half-month season faces council objection

Haven Leisure Limited has applied to East Devon District Council to extend the permitted season at Devon Cliffs Holiday Centre in Sandy Bay, Exmouth, by 28 days, allowing occupation from February 1 to January 14 inclusive. Exmouth Town Council's planning committee voted to object on September 14, citing traffic congestion, noise, pressure on services and the risk of permanent residential occupation. The district council's economic development officer supported the application, saying it would extend the tourist season and support jobs; the application is awaiting a decision by East Devon District Council.
